Chapter 480 Fish on the Chopping Board
Seeing that the Goryeo soldiers were showing signs of fleeing, Xu Hai immediately asked people to lower the side of the ship and let the officers and soldiers of Wanling County and the 10,000 Japanese disembark.
There were too many people and the speed of getting off the boat was too slow. Some Japanese were worried that after they all got off the boat, all the Korean soldiers would be gone, so many people jumped directly into the water, and then swam to the shore, even with their clothes on.
He didn't wring it out, so he chased the fleeing Korean soldiers with his bare feet and a bamboo knife.
"Master Fang, let's leave quickly, otherwise the officers and soldiers of Wanling County will chase us."
Fang Chu stood there for a long time before his men woke him up.
"Everyone has been defeated, where can I go?"
"Going to the capital city of Korea, as the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. Since we can't defend Yecheng Port, we have to retreat to the capital city of Korea and rely on the strong city walls to resist the opponent's attack."
"Can we stop the opponent's attack?"
"Yes, the reason why we failed was mainly because we underestimated the power of the opponent's weapons. They not only had cannons, but also more powerful muskets."
"But most of the cannons on the warship are fixed on the ship, and they can't dismantle them. As long as we hold on to the capital and don't leave the city, with the strong city walls, can they still capture the capital?"
"Also, the failure is also related to the lack of training of the soldiers. When they saw how powerful the opponent's weapons were, they were so scared that they ran away one by one. They didn't even have the courage to fight. How could we not fail?"
"These soldiers cannot attack, but it is still possible to let them defend the city. As long as they hold on to the city, even if they cannot fight one-on-one with the officers and soldiers of Wanling County, they can fight against the head office."
When Fang Chu heard the words of his staff, he suddenly woke up and said, "Let's go, let's go quickly!"
"Master Fang, what we need to do now is to gather the separated soldiers as soon as possible, integrate them all, and escort us back to the capital."
Fang Chu looked at the Goryeo soldiers fleeing in all directions, and thought to himself, how can we gather everyone in this chaotic scene?
But the reality did not allow him to think about it. There were sudden bursts of screams behind him. Fang Chu looked back and saw that a large number of Japanese had disembarked from the boat and were quickly chasing them.
"Don't worry about these soldiers, let's leave now and rush to the capital as soon as possible."
"Where are these soldiers?"
"Everyone who can escape counts as one. We will find a way after we reach the capital."
"Okay, let's go quickly!"
Fang Chu and others were all riding tall horses, turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
"Baga, you were a step too late and let those rich people run away!"
A dozen Japanese teams rushed up, looking at the disappearing figures of Fang Chu and others, and cursed their mothers angrily.
"Don't worry about being short of money. Hurry up and kill someone! Otherwise, Chief Xu will not be satisfied when he sees it."
"Yaoxi, blah blah blah, here I come!"
After Xu Hai disembarked, he saw that all the Japanese troops had disappeared, leaving only a thousand officers and soldiers of Wanling County who were dedicated to protecting him.
"This weapon is so powerful!"
Xu Hai saw Goryeo soldiers falling in piles on the boat, but he didn't feel anything at first.
But when he got off the boat, the corpses of Korean soldiers were everywhere, and rivers of blood flowed under his feet. This really made him feel scared.
If Wanling County had this powerful weapon, no matter how many Koreans came, it would not be enough to kill them.
He was still unconvinced when he was captured by officers and soldiers of Wanling County in a sneak attack before, but now he is completely convinced. He feels that Wanling County is invincible and cannot be provoked casually in the future.
"Tell General Ah Qi that we will go to the capital of Korea immediately. Let's meet in the capital of Korea in the future!"
After saying that, Xu Hai and his men quickly followed the Japanese team and fought all the way to the capital of Goryeo.
After dozens of miles of journey, Fang Chu felt like he was hundreds of miles away. Although he wanted to speed up, a large number of defeated troops blocked their way forward, making it impossible for them to get up even if they wanted to.
The little dwarfs at the back ran so fast. With their bare feet, they could run faster than those wearing shoes. Moreover, they were all very fierce and almost no one could resist their attack.
Fang Chu and others were almost surrounded by the Japanese, but fortunately his subordinates tried their best to block him and allowed him to escape. However, the appearance of the ferocious Japanese still remained in his mind.
He was not tall, and he killed five or six people in one breath. Although he killed him in a sneak attack with a musket, the Japanese suddenly broke out before he died and killed one of his men with his teeth.
"We can't move so slowly, otherwise none of us will be able to escape today!"
Fang Chu finally got ruthless and asked the soldiers in front to ride on horseback and kill some Koreans who were blocking the road with their swords, and finally broke out a bloody path.
It wasn't until he arrived at the capital of Korea that he breathed a sigh of relief.
But he didn't relax for long when he heard someone shouting at the city gate.
"The Japanese are coming!"
"Did you arrive so soon?"
Fang Chu found it a bit incredible that these little dwarfs were running faster than he was riding a horse, and they actually chased them all the way to the capital of Korea.
Lying on the city wall and looking down, I could see little dwarfs popping out from the crowd of Korean soldiers scattered everywhere. Everywhere I went, people were tumbling on their backs and screaming.
"Quick, close the city gate quickly!"
Ever since someone discovered that the Japanese were coming, the city gate has been deserted for a long time.
Although Fang Chu wanted to close the city gate, there were not many people around him. Most of them were either killed by the Japanese or separated on the road.
"Master Fang, let's leave quickly. If we wait a little longer, it will be too late!"
In the blink of an eye, the Japanese had arrived at the city gate and were about to enter the city.
"City gate...city gate..."
Fang Chu was pulled by his men and continued to think about the city gate, because his staff had said that as long as the city was defended, the officers and soldiers of Wanling County could not capture the capital without the tools to attack the city.
But now, the staff has long disappeared, and the Japanese are about to enter the city.
Therefore, the idea of defending the city was shattered.
The most urgent thing for them at present is how to escape as soon as possible and escape the pursuit of the Japanese and Wanling County officers and soldiers.
"Go back to the palace, go back to the palace quickly!"
Fang Chu suddenly thought that he still had his wife and children in the palace, and he must not let them fall into the hands of the officers and soldiers of Wanling County.
After hearing what Fang Chu said, everyone hurriedly ran to the palace.
When Xu Hai led more than a thousand officers and soldiers to the capital of Goryeo, the Japanese had already occupied the capital and were surrounding the palace to attack.
"Sir, the palace is a little difficult to fight. The opponent has muskets. We attacked several times but couldn't get in!"
"Okay, take me to see it!"
The Japanese suffered few casualties while chasing the Goryeo soldiers, but they suffered a big loss when they attacked the Goryeo Palace. Even the ferocious Maruyama Hound Dog was injured on his arm.
"Let people stop the attack immediately!"
Seeing hundreds of Japanese dead and wounded, Xu Hai felt a little heartbroken. He did not feel sorry for the lives of these Japanese, but felt that they were not worth it.
Some turtles in a jar, blocked in the palace, are already fish on the chopping board - ready to be slaughtered.
